Tu B’Shevat (New Year For The Trees) Menu 2011

Wednesday evening marks the start of Tu B’Shevat[1], one of my favourite holidays on the Jewish calendar. There’s something whimsical and life-affirming about having a New Year’s celebration for the environment and the seder (religious) service which accompanies it has a focus on our role as stewards of the planet, as well stewards of our own ever-evolving personal natures that I find inspirational. Traditionally this holiday is celebrated with vegetarian fare, and my centerpiece for many years has been eggplant lasagna.

This year however I decided to challenge myself to putting together an all-vegan affair!
